As part of a joint effort to explore new collaboration tools of interest to the UW research community, the Office of the CIO, in conjunction with the Graduate School, Morgridge Institute for Research and UW-Madison Libraries, will be hosting a presentation and demonstration of HUBzero <http://hubzero.org> on Wednesday, December 3.

Created by researchers at Purdue University, in conjunction with the NSF-sponsored Network for Computational Nanotechnology, HUBzero makes it possible to create communities for collaborative research and educational activities. Users can build powerful Web sites that support scientific discovery, learning, and collaboration by utilizing HUBzero’s simulation tools, tutorials, podcasts, and other resources via the web.
